Answer:

b=-5, m= - 3/-2

Explanation:

Slope equation is y=mx+b. Slope is finding the rise(vertical change) over run(horizontal change). In this case, -3 is our negative rise and 2 is our run. Put that into fraction form, we get negative 3/2. In the slope equation, b represents the y-intercept(where the line touches the y-axis). In this case, it is -5. Hope this helps you!
